APPENDIX A HOTICE OF VIOLATION Louisiana Power & Light Company Docket: 50-382 Wate,'ord Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 Operating License: NPF-38 During an NRC inspection conducted June 1-30, 1989, three violations of NRC requirements were identified. The first violation involved three examples of failure to implement adequate procedures, and the second violation involved two examples of failure to follow procedures. The third violation was for failure of the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) to review a design document change. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violations are listed below: i A. Failure to Follow Procedures Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that written procedures shall be implemented as recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Contrary to the above, below are two examples of where the licensee failed to follow established procedures:

1. Attachment 6.3 of Procedure UNT-5-003, Revision 7, " Clearance Request, Approval, and Release," states that when systems containing radioactive fluids are to be drained and vented, the drain and vent paths shall be tagged in their required position.

Contrary to the above, on June 3, 1989, Clearance No.89-673 was incomplete in that one of the valves in the vent path to the primary sample sink, PSL-3081, was not tagged open.

2. Section 5.2.3 of Procedure UNT-7-005, Revision 2, " Cleanliness Control," requires unattended system openings to be covered or capped to prevent the introduction of contaminants.

Contrary to the above, on June 3, 1989, a replacement tubing assembly intended for installation in the primary sampling system was left laying on the floor unattended with no protective covering over the openings.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I) (382/8917-03)

B. Inadequate Procedures Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that written procedures shall be established and maintained as recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Contrary to the above, below are three examples of where the licensee failed to adequately establish and maintain procedures:

1. Operating Procedure OP-009-002, Revision 10, " Emergency Diesel Generator," failed to include controls over the status of the three-wav outlet valves on the fuel oil filters and strainers, EGF-12;;c (pu ud EGF-1228 A(B).

2. Operating Procedure OP-600-007, Revision 2, " Annunciator Response.for Emergency Diesel Generator A or B Local Panel," contained-an inappropriate operator response in Attachment 8.27 by not including instructions to shift the duplex fuel oil strainers or filters to the clean side when a high differential pressure indicates possible clogging, as described in the vendor technical manual -(45700-1225, Volume 1).

3. Upon implementing a design drawing revision, which changed the required standby position for Component Cooling Water System Valves CC-803108 and CC-8062, Operating Procedure OP-002-003,

" Component Cooling Water System," was not changed to reflect the new position.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I) (382/8917-06)

C. Failure to Conduct Required Reviews Technical Specification 6.5.1.6.d requires, in part, that the PORC shall be responsible for the review of all proposed changes or modifications to unit systems or equipment that affect nuclear safety.

Contrary to the above, on July 11, 1988, Document Revision Notice 148800868 was issued against Piping and Instrument Drawing LOV-1564-G-160, Sheet 1, without first being reviewed by the PORC.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I) (382/8917-07)
